SI wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human SI wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 3q26.1 and is approximately 179 kb in length. This allele, which encodes sucrase-isomaltase, intestinal protein, is involved in carbohydrate digestion. Loss of function mutations in the gene are associated with congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency.

**Synonyms:** - Alpha-Glucosidase Gene - Alpha-Methylglucosidase Gene - Oligo-1,6-Glucosidase Gene - Oligosaccharide Alpha-1,6-Glucosidase Gene - Sucrase-Isomaltase (Alpha-Glucosidase) Gene - Sucrase-Isomaltase wt Allele
